NASHVILLE, TENE., January 2l.-The
situation tere Is very interesting. IL
is generally considered that the dead
lock cannot be broken unlets House,
Marks and Bate are Withdrawn. Their
respective friends seem to be unyield-
ing and the sdherents of either cannot
be brought to the support OF the
other. And the solution lies in bring.
ing out some new man of advanced
ideas not bampered with an OBJ &C.
tionable political record. 1t is some
times very unfortunate to have q
political record. And thoss polit'cisn
who have been mere obstruclionists
in all good and progressive measures
are beginning to reanLe IL. The indi-
cations point to Gov. Taylor as the
coming man. He can break the dead
lock, and he can bs United States
Senator. All the factions in the party
can unite on him. Young, vigorous,
progressive, ne would readily con.
ciliAte the party, aud be the
means OF retirir & the mossbaCks and
machine men, And 1t is very fortu-
nate that the Senate has a Speaker
who would woIthily wear his msnt g.
Ewing, besides being one OF the finest
parliamehtarisns in the Safe, is a
polished gentleman OF large political
experience and broad statesmanlike
views, II Gov. Bob should go to the
United States Senate, the tfIics of

The present Legislature is above the
average. They seem TO he men OF

cessors; aud they are iudul trious
Some of them, who have been ex'
treme in their views, are & eatly toned
down. The Old Man OF the MouE /
ains, Col. John II. Savage, Is said to
be actually in favor Of incre ased aid to
public free schools.
And this reminds rs to remark that
the vigorous editorials OF the Memphis
ArPRAL particularly, and the s ate
ess generally, in favor Of additional
State aid to public schools, have not
been without their effect upon our
law makers here, The people de.
msnd and will have more aud better
schools, aud this Legislature is begin
ming to comprehend the situation.
Better free schools and longer terms is
the waichword.
The irie ads Of Col. Colyar hope by
some fortuitous stroke he may be sent
TO the Senate. He has done more for
public schools aud for opening n our
mineral lands and developing our 10.
sources aud inducing Northern and
foreign capital to our country than
almost any man in the State, and
while he is considered by some cranky
on soma questions, he Is braiDy,
progressive, live man, who would
sdorn any position. Bat we can't
spsre him, and he must stay here aud
point and lead the way to the enlarged
aud fuller development OF the timber,
mineral and manufacturing intereit
OF our gtea' State.
